It says he had completed high school and lived in Indianapolis in 1935. That could explain how he met and married Gwendolyn Williams of New York, whom he married in 1943.
Harold also served in World War II but was stationed stateside. He was a stationed in Florida in 1943, and Corporal in Mississippi in 1945, then living in New York when his parents died in 1950 and 1952.
